Louis Vuitton Playtime Bag Charms

Filed under: Handbags

Louis Vuitton Bag Charms
Louis Vuitton might be most well known for their classic and versatile neutrals but they're not without a fun side. Accessorize your favorite Vuitton with some whimsical color by attaching one of these pretty new 'Playtime Bag Charms' to the handle, zipper pull, or anywhere else that strikes your fancy. There's also a keychain in the collection (see it here) that looks more like a charm bracelet than a functional accessory. Featuring a large "LV" logo paired with signature Monogram flowers, the charms come in two color schemes, maroon and rose, and are inspired in part by the playful spirit of a child's game. Find them at Louis Vuitton stores for £190 - £305.

Salvatore Ferragamo Gancino Charms Ladies Watch

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches

salvatore ferragamo watch
Produced via license by one of the higher-end divisions of Timex, here is the new Gancino Charms watch collection for women from Ferragamo. I have been saying the "Gancino" a few times out loud and have decided that he name sucks for a watch like this, it probably sucks as a name for most things. Aside from that, the 36mm wide timepiece in steel is available with a number of different gems that can decorate the dial. These natural stones include smokey quartz, rhodolite, citrine, and amethyst. There is also the pictured more expensive version with diamonds. Similar to what other watches have done, there is a Ferragamo charm that dangles off the watch. This is not the crown, which is located elsewhere.. Inside the watch is a quartz movement. The case is available in steel or IP gold coated. Dial is pretty cool with its machine guilloche engraved face and Ferragamo logo. I am sure it will be sold where their shoes are also available. Not sure about prices, but probably going to be appreciably more expensive than it is worth.

Links of London Charm Bracelet Builder

I've loved charm bracelets ever since I was a little girl. There's something so fun and silly (in a good way) about all the individual little charms, miniature and colorful and all representing something different and meaningful. Putting together a bracelet is about building a collection of memories (some people keep adding charms over their entire lives) and Links of London's Charm Bracelet Designer is a fun and entertaining way to do it online. I'm not even in the market for another bracelet (although some of the individual charms are tempting!) but had fun wasting twenty minutes or so scrolling through the options and dragging and dropping all my favorite picks into various arrangements on the bracelet of my choice. You can sort by materials or category groups (shopping, animals, etc) and it tallies up your total as you go.

We've mentioned the adorable Bo Bo from Qeelin Jewelry before but now the bejeweled panda pendant has a new identity, several identities in fact. The Fantastic Bo Bo collection re-imagines the adorable animal in several incarnations including Super Bo Bo with a red and blue outfit with rubies and sapphires, Pretty Bo Bo in pink sapphires with a diamond handbag and necklace, Captain Bo Bo in cognac diamonds with tiny hook and eyepatch and DJ Bo Bo in black diamonds with white diamond headphones and a tiny MP3 player. Precious jewelry has rarely been cuter.

Diamond Animal Charms for Pet Lovers

Filed under: Jewelry, Pets

Andrea Levine Horse Charm $450It can be difficult for pet lovers to find elegant animal themed jewelery or other decorative items. Too often, the only options are either inexpensive or poorly made. Though inexpensive is not always a bad thing, sometimes a purple plastic cat charm is not the most appropriate accessory. Andrea Levine decided to fill the market gap with some beautiful pet charms. The pave-style diamond charms are available in yellow and white gold, with a variety of colored diamond options. There is a cat charm, two horse charms and 19 different dog breed charms to choose from, and the charm can be attached to anything from cuff links to a pendent necklace.

Baby Faces Picture Charms

Filed under: Jewelry

We've covered all sorts of personalized offerings before from DNA paintings to wood profiles, busts, fingerprint sculptures, diaper bags with your baby's face on them. Now get ready for the next step, three-dimesional baby charms. Baby Faces are made by creating a 3-D image from a child's photograph which is then carved in wax and used to create silver or gold charms.  The charms cost $179 for silver or $299 for gold. Browsing the gallery, I can only say to those thinking of doing this, be very careful of the picture you choose.
